I expect big things from Phinney on the cobbles, he could be Hushovds replacement as leader if Hushovd can't get it together this year. Sagan I thinly could challange in both RVV and PR. At the moment RVV, I believe, is his main target. And Vanmarcke can't be discounted, after all he's already beaten Boonen once.

Possibly Durbridge, Demare, Navardauskas, Gallopin, Kwiatkowski, Van Rensburg, Fenn, Sinkeldam, Keukeleire, Van Asbroeck, Lindeman, De Vreese, Rowe, Wallays, Van Bilsen. These are some of the less known young riders who may have the potential to be a contender for cobbles.
